Grace Tame
Oh my goodness.
She suffered unthinkable abuse at the hands of a serial paedophile while at school. She suffered unspeakably. She stands among us now and calls us to action, to move beyond awkward silence and speak of the secret and destructive arts of grooming, for if we do not, we give perpetrators their power. She also makes a very clear call to action: we must share a clear understanding of the parameters of consent.
Listen to Grace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJmwOTfjn9U
Close your eyes and listen to the beauty she speaks and it will lead you to the truth of things. And what might that be?
- A person is not the object of a middle aged man’s wicked infatuations.
- A person is not a vessel to be discarded, left to be filled with equal parts of shame and anger.
Somewhere within Grace the knowledge emerged that she is worthy of her name, worthy of respect, and worthy to be an agent, free to act on her own, free to live and tell her story.
See in Grace Tame the truth that lives in her and the witness she bears to the power, dignity, grace that comes through someone living their truth. No storm will blow her off course.
